Gluten-Free Spice Cookies Directions:

In a mixer, combine the butter, egg, molasses, and sugar. Because I ordered all of my ingredients online at iHerb, I purchased a package of egg replacer. This is a gluten-free, vegan product, so if you avoid eggs due to allergies or dietary restrictions, this is a must in your pantry! I love that iHerb carries such an awesome variety of baking ingredients in some of my favorite brands, like Bob’s Red Mill, Wholesome, Organic Valley, and Simply Organic! Rather than using butter in this recipe, I used ghee. Ghee is clarified butter, and I think it added the perfect moisture and chewiness to these cookies. To make this a vegan cookie, I may want to bake them again with coconut oil.

In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and ginger. To make this a gluten-free cookie, I used almond flour. It’s actually my favorite of the gluten-free flour options. The texture is just perfect in this cookie! You can also try a spice blend instead, like pumpkin spice or apple pie spice. Adjust the spices to what your family loves the most!

Add your dry ingredients to your wet ingredients and mix until your cookie dough comes together. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Place your dough in the refrigerator for about an hour until it is firm. Form cookies into round balls that are 1 teaspoon each. I like to use a mini-ice cream scooper. Place on a lined cookie sheet and bake 12 minutes. This recipe makes 30 cookies.

To make the icing, combine 1 cup of powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of water. Pour the glaze into a sandwich bag, snip the corner of the bag, and drizzle over the gluten-free spice cookies. There is no degree of precision required to decorate these cookies – The random drizzle adds to the fun look of these gluten-free spice cookies! Your cookies are now ready to serve to your friends and family.
